Yup! You were right if you’re on a phone. I’m on a computer and I forget a lot of posters use their phones.
Brave browser is my absolute favorite. You can opt into the ads and they pay you. I hate ads so I opt out and I’ve saved 19.2 browsing hours just from not watching ads. If you watch movies on a free site like Tubi or You Tube free movies with ads, you skip all the advertising. They let you set DuckDuckGo as at default search engine.
I also use Vanced for YT. Cuts out all adverts.
I also use Nitter for Twitter to work around the censorship without signing in to read comments.
I think Firefox is suspect, but that’s just the feeling I get. I use Brave, but I don’t think it has the add ons I need, like video download.
I gave up on Brave because you can’t navigate using the back button.
My correspondence with them was that they will NEVER allow the back button to navigate backwards. No rationale was provided. Frankly, I was astounded at the rudeness of their response.
That's great! But I hope that was over more than a 24-hour time frame, or else you spend too much time surfing. :)
Ha..My surfing days are long gone. That's over probably 2 years since I started using Brave.
I have used Brave for a while now.
Thanks. I don’t like Edge or Brave. I’ll stick with Firefox for now but won’t update it. When it no longer works I’ll look for something else.
Brave is good. Especially at blocking youtube ads.
Brave is coming out with their own search engine soon.
Proton mail, Still the best at this point in the game.
That's been my experience with Brave also the two different times I tried it. I guess I've used Firefox for too long (since v0.8; Spring of 2004).
I have never liked IE, Google Chrome, and now Edge. I used to like Opera until they sold off to a Chinese company. I have Firefox and Vivaldi, the latter being used when Firefox barks about a webpage (which seems to be a lot these days).
Go to app store., search and install
Then go to settings and make it default.
So I downloaded Firefox and they did not let me transfer my bookmarks from Chrome; they might let me if I sign in.... sigh, too many people want me to sign in to use my own stuff!!!! (Apple, I’m looking at you!!!!)
Sorry, anyway, just go to whatever you get apps from (Google playstore or your phone may have its own, my Samsung has Galaxy—pink and red with a shopping bag on it), search for Firefox, and ask it to install. Then make sure it is on a page you can open it from (I keep my browser on the bottom line so it shows up on all app pages), and just open it instead of Chrome.
Opera.
My browsers in order of preference and frequency of usage:
1) Pale Moon
2) Vivaldi
3) Safari
I never touch Chrome or IE
+1. Brave is great. So is DuckDuckGo for searching.
Brave - once you get used to it, you realize it’s better than all of them
We use Opera Mini on the cell phone.
